Shrimp Bulgur Salad With Avocado Relish and Chipotle Dressing image

Combining spicy and cooling ingredients for a festive main dish shrimp salad served on bulgur and ringed by avocado relish. Formalize the presentation by molding the shrimp and rice (in a rice mold or 6-oz. ramekin), then ringing with avocado relish and pouring remaining chipotle dressing as outer ring. The Avocado Relish can be made ahead and refrigerated. The Chipotle dressing makes 3 cups and can be held in the top of a double boiler over simmering water for 2 hours. (Bulgur is a nutritious, versatile wheat product with a pleasant, nut-like flavor and an extended shelf-life that allows it to be stored for long periods; it can be substituted for converted rice, although it is more nutritious.) The Avocado Relish can be prepared while the bulgur is cooking, hence the low preparation time.

I'm not a big fan of bulgur, but I really enjoyed this salad. The shrimp and avocado relish were the perfect complements to the bulgur, and the chipotle dressing added a nice smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used a store-bought chipotle dressing, but I think it would be even better if you made your own. The avocado relish was also a nice touch, and it really helped to brighten up the dish.
